# The Global Intelligence Files

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

## [OS] UK/INDIA: British plot puts Indian Muslims in terror focus

British plot puts Indian Muslims in terror focus
(Reuters)
11 July 2007
NEW DELHI - India had long boasted its huge Muslim population had never
provided recruits for global Islamic extremist groups, but that belief
seems shattered after Indian Muslims were arrested in an attempt to bomb
Britain.
The country is home to more than 140 million Muslims, the world's third
largest Islamic population, and George W. Bush was reported as saying two
years ago that its democratic credentials were proven by the fact that
none of them had joined Al Qaeda.
Even when that comment was made, the writing was apparently on the wall.
Islamic radicalism, which had spread from Afghanistan to Pakistan and
Kashmir, was finally finding root in India.
Some blame Pakistan for fanning the fire, but just as important was the
alienation many Indian Muslims felt after communal riots in the western
state of Gujarat in 2002.
At the same time, television was beaming images of conflicts around the
world where Muslims seemed to be victims of the West.
"Every concentration of Muslims in the world today is being actively
targeted for recruits by Islamist radicals," said Ajai Sahni of New
Delhi's Institute for Conflict Management.
"Each nationality would have come into play at a certain point of time in
history and this is our turn, that's it. Why should anyone be surprised?".
Indian Muslims had already been providing recruits for Pakistan-based
militant groups and been implicated in last year's serial bombing of
commuter trains in Mumbai, Sahni said.
Three Indians are among eight people arrested in Australia and Britain for
the failed attacks in London and Glasgow, and experts say there may be
links to Al Qaeda.
Kafeel Ahmed, a 27-year-old engineer, and his doctor brother Sabeel, 26,
were arrested in Britain, with Kafeel identified as the man who crashed a
flaming jeep into Glasgow airport.
A third suspect, Mohamed Haneef, also a doctor, was arrested in Australia.
Muslims make up about 13 percent of India's officially secular but
predominantly Hindu population - giving it the third largest Islamic
population after Indonesia and neighbour and rival Pakistan.
"Wake-up call"
Religious tensions have never been far below the surface and bloody
Hindu-Muslim clashes have occurred frequently since the partition of the
subcontinent on communal lines.
But even a violent revolt against New Delhi's rule in Muslim-majority
Kashmir, which erupted in 1989 began as a separatist movement and took on
a religious flavour only after the involvement of Pakistani militant
groups, analysts say.
It was only in the era of Washington's "war on terror" that Indian Muslims
began to sympathise more with pan-Islamic causes, fuelled by what some say
the influence years of funding by Saudi Arabia's Wahabi Muslim sect -
which shaped Osama bin Laden's world view - had on Indian madrasas.
"If they are involved, I will not be surprised," said Kamal Farooqui,
secretary of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, referring to the
three Bangalore men.
"Whatever has happened in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and now
Iran ... every Muslim is feeling bad about it," he said, but added that
only a "miniscule minority" could take to violence.
Police in Bangalore said they had seized CDs containing material about
Islamist conflicts in Chechnya and Iraq from Kafeel's house.
Some political analysts also blame the rise of Hindu nationalists in India
in the early 1990s, the destruction of an ancient mosque by Hindu mobs in
1992 and the Gujarat riots in 2002 for a growing sense of hurt and anger
among Indian Muslims.
One reason that pro-Al Qaeda cells had turned to Indian Muslims could be
that Western countries had stepped up surveillance of the Pakistani
diaspora, blamed for terror plots in the past, said B. Raman, a former
head of the Research and Analysis Wing, India's external intelligence
agency.
"Instead of continuing to be in denial that Al Qaeda...can make an impact
on the mind of Indian Muslims, the government... should take the wake-up
call from the U.K. seriously and strengthen the capability of our
intelligence agencies and police," he wrote in the Times of India.
